Am making tomato ketchup, it specifies white(clear)Malt vinegar, so off
to local supermarkets, no such thing in the three I went to, so I google
starting with white malt vinegar and got tons of difference between
plain white and malt tried various combinations of quotation marks and
pluses,eventually found white clear and distilled malt descriptions but
does not help if no one keeps it
eventually back to the start and did what most probably do and plonked
in common or garden brown malt
doing it in the slow cooker instead of waiting and watching for hours on
the cooktop.

Perhaps it's the same sort of 'malt' vinegar that's often used for
fish-n-chips? There's a 12-fl-oz. bottle of Heinz "Gourmet Malt
Vinegar" in my cabinet that's been there for years. Heh, it's even
unopened, oh my! The glass bottle is amber-colored, so it's not
possible to tell if the vinegar is clear or not. HTH.

If you could tell what kind and the color of the vinegar that is in the finished product, I'd have to shake your hand on that! A slow cooker seems to be a good idea.
